USDC.e represents wrapped USDC tokens on the Avalanche blockchain. This is similar to how on the Ethereum network, wrapped Ethereum is WETH instead of ETH.
USDC is the native USDC Coin that is deployed by the Circle team (creators of USDC) on the Avalanche blockchain. These are directly redeemable for US Dollars via Circle's exchange or other platforms like Coinbase.
